Randy “Macho Man” Savage died in a car wreck in May, two months after ending an estrangement with the WWE/F by appearing in THQ’s WWE Superstars. Savage, one of the greatest superstars in professional wrestling history, will also appear in the series’ flagship video game WWE 12 when it releases its Legends stable of wrestlers in January.
Back in May, one rasslin’ fan from Spokane brought a 3DS to the WWE. In November, THQ will bring the WWE to the 3DS.
Gymnasium/ballroom/armory pro wrestling is a beautiful thing. A beautifully cheesy thing. This combatant from Hawaii, “Kenryu Takadoki”, has shed all pretense of trying to become noticed and promoted to a bigger circuit because, hey, they’re way out in Hawaii. So why not go with a repertoire based on Street Fighter moves?
In my humble opinion this year’s WWE All Stars made every other wrestling game released in the last decade appear stodgy and unplayable. It seems like THQ agreed. Instead of going for another annual release of the Smackdown vs Raw franchise they’ve skipped a year. WWE ’12, a complete reboot, is the end result.
